What is the difference between Hotel and Restaurant?

Update: Thanks to you all! You all told that the difference is of staying. But I have seen some hotels, which do not provide accommodation to stay. They only supplied food. But the board on it shows it is a hotel.

Update 2: Doesn't my question sound interesting? If so, star it.

Best Answer: *Asper yr additional details, maybe the hotel that gives out food only, has its staff ''staying'' over !!!! na ?
O/wise ....... hotel has lodging & boarding while a restaurant has no lodging !!!!!

When I was in India, the word Hotel in the small villages / town referred to a small restaurant that served coffee, tea, some meals ... sometimes it looked as though there might be 3 or 4 rooms available, often not...

In larger cities, a Hotel is a larger building offering overnight accommodation and meals, often large public rooms for social functions, like weddings, business meetings, etc

two answer to you question. 1 often a restaurant that has taken over a historic old hotel building will keep the name even though they no longer offer lodging. 2 some times hotel is used to indicate that private dining rooms are available for rent.

I'd love to answer but looking at all the answers before me i doubt mine would make a difference. A Hotel is a lodging developement which provides resting areas for poeple. Most hotels also provide food. A Restraunt provides food i doubt u could stay ove night at a restruant.

Hotel is place to stay and restaurant is place to eat. Restaturant may not have place to stay.

The difference is that A hotel means where you can stay for some time by paying some amount A hotel has got a restaurant where you can eat whatever you want by paying. A restaurant can also be outside the hotel.........
